General  Statement  of  the  School  of  Education 

Elmer  Ellsworth  Jones,  Ph.D.,  Director 


Purpose  and  Scope 

The  School  of  Education  is  organized  within  the  College  of  Lib- 
eral Arts  and  the  Graduate  School  for  the  purpose  of  coordinating 
the  various  educational  agencies  for  the  training  of  elementary  teach- 
ers, high  school  teachers,  teachers  in  the  normal  schools,  high  school 
principals,  city  and  town  superintendents,  and  professors  of  educa- 
tion in  colleges  and  normal  schools.  The  School  provides  for  the 
professional  preparation  of  all  types  of  teachers  and  educational 
leaders.  This  preparation  rests  upon  the  basis  of  scholarship  and 
professional  training,  and  consists  of  the  following:  First,  special 
academic  preparation  in  the  subjects  to  be  taught;  second,  profes- 
sional training  by  means  of  courses  for  teachers  in  the  various  aca- 
demic departments  of  the  college;  and  third,  courses  in  Psychology 
and  Education. 


Problems  of  the  School  of  Education 

I.  One  of  the  most  important  problems  of  the  School  of  Edu- 
cation consists  in  the  preparation  of  teachers  for  the  secondary 
schools.  The  effort  is  made  to  meet  the  requirements  of  State 
Departments  in  professional  training,  and  of  the  North  Central 
Association  of  Colleges  and  Secondary  Schools,  and  to  give  the  stu- 
dents thorough  academic  training  in  the  subjects  they  are  to  teach. 

II.  The  School  of  Education  undertakes  the  training  of 
teachers  for  the  elementary  schools.  City  superintendents  are  now 
demanding  that  teachers  for  the  elementary  schools  be  college 
trained,  having  scholarly  qualifications  as  well  as  the  professional 
requirements  in  the  methods  of  teaching. 

III.  The  School  of  Education  gives  training  to  all  types  of 
supervisory  officials,  including  high  school  principals,  grade  princi- 
pals, supervisors  in  elementary  schools,  and  city  and  town  super- 
intendents. 

IV.  By  means  of  graduate  courses  leading  to  the  degrees  of 
Master  of  Arts  and  Doctor  of  Philosophy  the  School  of  Education 
is  prepared  to  train  professors  of  Education  for  colleges  and  normal 
schools.

V.  By  means  of  a cooperative  plan  now  in  force  with  the 
Garrett  Biblical  Institute,  and  the  Department  of  Religious  Educa- 
tion, the  School  of  Education  offers  excellent  facilities  for  the  train- 
ing of  educational  workers  for  the  home  and  foreign  fields.  Special 
programs  of  studies  are  arranged  for  returned  missionaries,  and  those 
preparing  to  go  into  educational  missionary  work.  This  service 
extends  both  to  undergraduates  and  to  those  who  wish  to  pursue 
studies  for  advanced  degrees. 

VI.  Many  of  the  courses  in  the  School  of  Education  are  in- 
tended to  give  professional  insight  and  training  to  prospective  teach- 
ers, and  also  to  provide  instruction  which  is  desirable  for  individual 
culture  and  training.  Such  courses  give  preparation  for  intelligent 
participation  in  all  phases  of  education  which  good  citizenship  de- 
mands of  educated  men  and  women. 

Admissions  and  Registrations 

Students  who  have  completed  the  first  year  in  the  College  of 
Liberal  Arts  or  its  equivalent  in  other  institutions  are  permitted  to

cation retain  their  registration  in  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  and

college  credits  entitle  them.  In  addition,  upon  fulfilling  the  require-

Graduate  Study- 

North  western  University  offers  special  advantages  to  those  teach- 
ers who  wish  to  pursue  graduate  studies  toward  the  advanced  degrees. 
The  numerous  libraries  in  Evanston  and  Chicago  make  it  possible 
for  graduate  students  to  carry  on  research  in  any  field  advantageously. 

The  School  of  Education  maintains  a well  equipped  educational 
laboratory  in  which  studies  are  now  being  made  in  the  fields  of  Child 
Study,  Educational  Psychology,  Educational  Measurements,  the  Psy- 
chology of  Music  and  Drawing,  and  related  problems  of  educational 
significance. 

The  School  of  Education  also  cooperates  with  the  public  schools 
of  Evanston  and  other  cities  on  the  North  Shore  in  making  educa- 
tional investigations  useful  to  the  schools.  In  this  work  Graduate 
students  are  sent  directly  into  the  schools  to  make  the  study  and 
report  to  the  city  superintendent.  Much  of  this  material  is  valuable 
data  for  theses  for  the  advanced  degrees.  The  opportunities  for 
research  in  the  field  of  Education  are  practically  unlimited,  and  one 
of  the  functions  of  the  School  of  Education  is  to  stimulate  Graduate 
students  to  contribute  solutions  to  the  perplexing  problems  now  con- 
fronting practical  school  men. 

The  Degree  of  Master  of  Arts 

Graduate  students  selecting  Education  as  a major  are  expected 
to  have  a minimum  of  a major  or  its  equivalent  in  Education  before 
they  will  be  admitted  to  candidacy  for  either  the  Master’s  degree  or 
the  Ph.D.  degree.  With  this  preparation  the  Graduate  student  with 
the  B.A.  or  B.S.  degree  from  an  accredited  institution  should  be  able 
to  complete  the  work  for  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  in  two  se- 
mesters and  one  summer  term.  Students  of  rare  ability  may  complete 
the  work  in  two  semesters.  All  candidates  for  the  degree  of  Master 
of  Arts  must  pass  a satisfactory  oral  examination  in  the  following  sub- 
jects: (a)  History  of  Education,  (b)  Principles  of  Education,  (c) 
Educational  Psychology,  (d)  Educational  Organization,  Supervision 
and  Administration.  In  addition,  the  candidate  must  prepare  a thesis 
presenting  the  results  of  original  investigation  in  some  field  of 
Education.

completed  the  undergraduate  major  or  its  equivalent,  and  must  be 
in  courses  as  advanced  as  those  of  the  C-group.  Purely  elementary 
courses  in  any  department  may  not  be  presented.  No  credit  in  the 
major  department  ranking  below  B grade  shall  be  counted  toward 
this  degree. 

The  Degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy 

A candidate  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  must  have 
received  the  Bachelor’s  degree  from  Northwestern  University,  or 
from  some  other  institution  of  accepted  standing. 

The  degree  may  be  conferred  on  successful  candidates  after  three 
years  of  graduate  study,  of  which  at  least  two  must  be  in  residence. 
The  last  year,  or  the  first  two  years,  must  be  spent  in  residence  at 
Northwestern  University. 

The  candidate  must  give  at  least  two-thirds  of  his  time  to 
advanced  work  in  one  department  of  study  which  shall  constitute 
his  primary  subject.  The  remaining  time  may  be  given  to  one  or  to 
two  secondary  subjects,  but  advanced  work  in  courses  equivalent  to 
fifteen  semester-hours  must  be  completed  in  at  least  one  secondary 
subject. 

An  application  for  registration  as  a candidate  for  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Philosophy  shall  be  referred  to  a committee  of  three  per- 
sons, nominated  by  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School,  one  of  whom 
shall  be  the  Head  of  the  department  in  which  the  principal  work  is 
done.  This  committee  shall  report  to  the  Board  at  its  first  meeting 
after  such  reference  a statement  as  to  the  preparation  and  general 
qualifications  of  the  candidate,  as  well  as  to  his  ability  to  read  at 
sight  in  French  and  German  the  special  literature  of  his  primary 
subject;  and  shall  make  recommendation  as  to  his  acceptance,  and 
indicate  further  requirements  to  be  met. 

The  candidate  must  present  a thesis  upon  an  approved  topic  per- 
taining to  his  primary  subject  which  gives  evidence  of  original  inves- 
tigation. A revised  typewritten  copy  of  the  thesis  in  prescribed  form 
must  be  filed  with  the  Dean  as  early  as  the  third  Saturday  in  May. 
If  the  thesis  is  approved,  the  candidate  must  furnish  the  University 
Librarian  with  fifty  printed  copies  of  his  thesis  at  the  time  of  receiv-

ing  the  degree;  or  in  lieu  thereof  he  must  deposit  fifty  dollars  as  a 
guarantee  that  fifty  printed  copies  will  be  furnished  the  Library 
within  two  years  from  that  time,  the  deposit  to  be  returned  on 
delivery  of  these  copies. 

The  final  examination,  which  is  both  written  and  oral,  is  held 
about  May  20,  and  covers  the  entire  primary  subject,  including  the 
topic  of  the  thesis.  (For  more  complete  statement  concerning  grad- 
uate work  see  Graduate  Bulletin.) 

Summer  School 

The  University  maintains  a Summer  Session  which  is  an  integral 
part  of  the  regular  organization.  Credit  obtained  is  fully  recognized 
toward  the  various  degrees  and  diplomas  which  are  conferred  by 
the  University.  Members  of  the  instructional  staff  are  chosen 
both  from  the  regular  faculty  of  the  University  and  from  other 
institutions. 

The  Summer  Session  offers  excellent  opportunity  for  teachers 
who  wish  to  study  for  the  B.S.  or  B.A.  degree,  and  for  Graduate 
students  who  desire  to  shorten  the  period  of  residence,  or  who  are 
unable  to  attend  during  the  regular  academic  year.  In  one  Summer 
Session  a graduate  may  complete  one-third  of  the  number  of  hours 
required  for  a Master’s  degree.

western University.)

tuition  fee  will  be  refunded,  providing  he  secures  from  the  Dean 
a statement  of  honorable  standing  and  from  a physician  a certificate 
that  his  health  will  not  permit  him  to  remain  in  attendance.  Appli- 
cation for  a refund  must  be  made  before  the  close  of  the  semester

lications, remain  unpaid,  until  satisfactory  evidence  has  been  presented 
that  such  bills  have  been  adjusted  or  that  the  claims  on  which  they 
were  based  are  unwarranted. 

Students  Registered  in  Two  Departments — A student  whose  pri- 
mary registration  is  in  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  may  take  courses 
in  other  schools  or  colleges  of  the  University,  and  students  whose 
primary  registration  is  in  another  school  or  college  of  the  University 
may  register  in  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  for  such  courses  as  may 
be  approved  by  both  faculties  concerned.  In  either  case  a dual  reg- 
istration slip  must  be  obtained  by  the  student  from  the  registrar 
of  the  college  of  primary  registration  and  be  presented  to  the  registrar 
in  the  college  of  secondary  registration.  Such  students  are  liable  for 
the  special  fees  in  laboratory  courses. 

Bills  for  fees  are  made  out  at  the  Registrar’s  Office  in  University 
Hall.  Payment  is  made  at  the  Business  Manager’s  Office,  518  Davis 
Street,  Evanston.  Checks  should  be  made  payable  to  “Northwestern

cago exchange. 


Affiliation  with  Other  Schools  and  Departments 

Northwestern  University  offers  superior  advantages  for  teacher 
training  along  many  different  lines.  It  is  possible  for  a student  to 
take  the  major  and  minor  subjects  in  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts,  and 
in  addition,  special  training  in  the  School  of  Music,  School  of  Speech, 
Garrett  Biblical  Institute,  or  the  National  Kindergarten  and  Ele- 
mentary College.  Special  programs  of  study  may  be  arranged  per- 
mitting the  student  to  get  a liberal  education,  and  at  the  same  time 
receive  special  training  along  some  technical  line.  This  is  ideal  for 
the  teacher.  He  can  get  90  hours  of  college  work  in  academic  sub- 
jects and  30  hours  in  some  special  field,  such  as  Music,  Oratory, 
Religious  Education,  or  the  Kindergarten. 

Special  advantages  are  offered  to  those  who  may  wish  to  take  a 
college  degree  and  at  the  same  time  do  special  work  in  athletics, 
physical  education  and  playground  work.  It  is  frequently  advan- 
tageous for  a teacher  of  some  academic  subject  in  the  high  school 
to  be  able  to  direct  the  work  of  physical  education.  In  like  manner 
the  new  interest  in  Religious  Education  is  met  by  permitting  students 
in  Education  to  take  a minor  in  Religious  Education,  and  those 
having  a major  in  Religious  Education  may  take  a minor  in  Edu- 
cation. This  insures  the  closest  articulation  between  the  courses  in 
the  School  of  Education  and  those  that  have  to  do  with  the  training 
of  religious  and  church  workers. 

The  Director  of  the  School  of  Education  will  assist  students  in 
working  out  programs  of  studies  for  prospective  teachers  along  these 
various  lines.
